If those contract #'s are correct - 2 years - $61.4 million - it just shows Manning doesn't really care about winning a Super Bowl. Hell at the point he should be saying to himself that he's made his money and get some talent out here.

Exactly. So, the question is whether or not Manning would give the 49ers a discount because they are the better team. Indications have been that Manning is not going to work for any discounts. So, I don't think the '9ers will ultimately be major players in this. I think Harbaugh took the visit as leverage with Smith.

Ok I get it. But people need to stop being hypocrites. Either Manning is playing for the money of he is playing for the Legacy. When we mentioned Tennessee we would discredit them by arguing that they could offer all the money they want...but we could offer the Legacy. Guess what... the 49ers offer the best legacy. And if Manning is true to his words then he will pick the 49ers. If not...it was all about the money... and in that regard we lose to a crazy man in TEN.

There's no way they could. Theyd have to dump quite a bit of contracts

nope...it's been done before. Just look at what the steelers did. They had to cut like 38 mil... and the only lost 3-4 ancient players. They restructured a bunch of the contract of their top guys. Look it up. It very possible.

One thing you have to understand is the top guys like Manning and Brady get a lot of pressure from the NFLPA to maximize their market value because it sets the market for other players. Brady got a lot of **** back around 2005 or thereabouts when he took a 6 year $60 million deal that was viewed as being below his market worth. It's not just a matter of Manning being greedy.
